On Day 7 of Navratri (Maha Saptami), devotees worship the seventh form of Goddess Durga — Goddess Kalratri as well as Goddess Saraswati. As per Hindu mythologies, on Maha Saptami (7th day) Goddess Parvati removed her outer golden skin and transformed into the fiercest form to destroy demons named Shumbha and Nishumbha.
The goddess is believed to demolish ignorance and darkness from the universe. This pictorial avatar of Maa Parvati shows her in a destructive form due to her dark black, dishevelled hair, three eyes and four hands positioned in Abhaya and Varada mudra. In her left hand, she carries a sword and an iron hook. She is also referred to as Goddess Shubhankari.
On an auspicious day, here’s the worship method, mantra, muhurta, and aarti of Goddess Kalratri.
